Happy Independence Day Open House

We go a little nutty with our holiday decorating around here. The 4th of July is no exception. I've taken a few pictures from around my house to share with you. Enjoy!

We'll begin with the front of the house. Our door used to be blue like the window boxes but this year we painted our new door red. We wanted it to really "pop" so we left the flower boxes blue which I think looks a little patriotic all year 'round.

The buntings are from Hobby Lobby (in Arizona.) Next up, we have a few pics from inside the house. My mum collects pitchers and this is her new patriotic pitcher.
I loved Holly Hobby as a kid so this plate reminds me of my childhood.

We found this cute frame at the Assistance League of Huntington Beach Thrift Shop. It sits on top of my piano.

Lastly, I took this picture in my backyard. I thought the redish geraniums with the overgrown white vine with the violet morning glories looked very red white and blue.

Oh, and the welcome sign up at the top of this post also came from the AL of HB Thrift Store. I found the cute star plates at Target (Love them!). Well this is all the new stuff we've collected/done this year. Thanks for visiting and happy 4th of July.
